I use WAZE extensively in and around The Villages. It almost never takes me out of my way and never 'around' The Villages unless that is the best route. There is no setting in WAZE for Shortest Time vs Shortest Route.

Waze uses the average road segment speed for the time slot that applies at the time when a user is expected to arrive at that road segment. Because of this time window, Waze suggests different routes at different times of day. This is dependent on how many times are recorded on the roads along the route.
I'm a home inspector here in The Villages. I use Waze. I have inspected homes built in 2022 on brand new roads and not once has it routed me around Hogan's barn.

I live north of 466 near Tiera Del Sol, so some of those homes in Deluna were pastures not that long ago yet It gets me there no fuss no muss. It doesn't route me out to 75 or 301 or whatever. Just straight to the point usually down Morse or BV unless there's a jam up somewhere.
